Read each question carefully and draw a free body diagram for the described scenario. Label all forces clearly and indicate their directions. Assume ideal conditions unless otherwise stated.
1. Draw a free body diagram for a book resting on a horizontal table.
2. Draw a free body diagram for a car accelerating down a straight road.
3. Draw a free body diagram for a skier sliding down a frictionless slope.
4. Which of the following forces is always present in a free body diagram for an object near the Earth's surface?
Tension
Normal Force
Frictional Force
Gravitational Force
5. A free body diagram only shows:
Internal forces
External forces acting on an object
Both internal and external forces
The object's acceleration
6. A free body diagram represents all the forces acting on an object.
7. The force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact is called .
8. When an object is in equilibrium, the net force acting on it is .
9. A free body diagram should always include the forces exerted by the object itself.
True
False
10. The normal force is always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the gravitational force.
True
False
